INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

The present inventory, recording the materials arriving between July 1and September 30, 1931, inclusive (Nos. 93749-94282), differs from former inven-tories in that most of its records concern gifts and exchanges from privateindividuals and institutions rather than the results of exploration conductedindependently by the division, which is most conspicuously represented by thecollection of soybeans (Nos. 94153-94173) collected by Dorsett and Morse.

Among the many gifts are the large collections of seeds from the last Forrestexpedition, generously presented by Maj. Lionel de Rothschild (Nos. 93871-93970, 93991-94063, 94100-94150) from his share in the returns of thatexploration.

Interest in tropical fruits, particularly lychees, is reflected in Nos. 93971-93977, 94070-94073, and 94247-94257, which include many lychee forms collectedby G. Weidman Groff at the Lingnan University, Canton, China.

Plants from Australia are well recognized with collections from C. A. Gard-ner, Government Botanist, Perth, Western Australia (Nos. 93780-93793), animportant collection of Casuarina species, particularly needed for a Floridaspecialist; and from Ida W. Richardson (Nos. 93828-93845), comprising manyornamental shrubs and trees.

Famous botanic gardens are represented by seeds from Buitenzorg, Java(Nos. 94095-94098), Peradeniya, Ceylon (Nos. 94089-94094), and the LloydBotanic Garden, Darjeeling, India (Nos. 94075-94086), all of which contributeparticular plants to complete, or to add to, various permanent collections.

The botanical determinations of these introductions have been made andthe nomenclature determined by H. C. Skeels, who has had general supervisionof this inventory.

Common gingerlily.No. 1847. HeUotrppo. Collected in a

other plants used in this inventory are those under which the material was received whenintroduced by the Division of Foreign Plant Introduction, and, further, that the printing ofsuch names here does not constitute their official publication and adoption in this country.As the different varieties are studied, their entrance into the American trade forecast, andthe use of varietal names for them in American literature becomes necessary, the foreignvarietal designations appearing in this inventory will be subject to change with a view tobringing the forms of the names into harmony with recognized horticultural nomenclature.

It is a well-known fact that botanical descriptions, both technical and economic, seldommention the seeds at all and rarely describe them in such a way as to make possible iden-tification from the seeds alone. Many of the unusual plants listed in these inventories areappearing in this country for the first time, and there are no seed samples or herbariumsDPcimens with ripe seeds with which the new arrivals may be compared. The only iden-tification possible is to see that the sample received resembles seeds of other species of thesame genus or of related genera. The responsibility for the identification, therefore, mustnecessarily often resit with the person sending the material. If there is any questionregarding the correctness of the identification of any plant received from this division,herbarium specimens of leaves and flowers should be sent in so that definite identificationcan be made.
